Can someone give me a short explanation of the difference between the various metapost "enclosures" in MetaFun? such as \startMPpage-\stopMPpage, \startMPcode-\stopMPcode? I am on the lookout for a setup in which textext can be used and where the figure comes out clipped, i.e. not contained in a full page with lots of surrounding whitespace. Note without textext doing framed's etc. there is no problem. The problem arises when the pageheight and pagewidth come into play. Hans van der Meer
